Can I take this if I'm sensitive to stimulants?

I want to give this diet pill a try, but I know it does contain caffeine. That said, I've never been good at guessing how much is too much caffeine in diet pills. My max caffeine tolerance is two mugs of coffee today. Does this product have more caffeine in it than that?

I don't know if it has more than that, but what you need to understand is that drinking caffeine from coffee isn't the same as taking a dose of caffeine anhydrous. With caffeine in pills you get the potent dose all at once, that's one of the reasons why it can make you jittery. Maybe assess your tolerance first.

I also think that the best thing you can do is assess your tolerance and to avoid ingesting other types of caffeine while you take the product.

That's exactly what I think. The safest way is to assess your tolerance and to avoid ingesting any other stimulants as you do, so you know just how much it effects you.

Great idea! Never thought about doing this. One of the reasons is I'm afraid to get a headache from too little caffeine. That said, I'll take one in the morning without a cup of coffee and see how I feel. I guess that really is the safest way to assess my tolerance!

It really is. Also, keep in mind that if you eat chocolate, it contains cocoa and that actually has more caffeine in it than you think. Usually, the darker the chocolate the more caffeine.

Thanks! Never took this into account and I do like dark chocolate.

Okay, I think I'll start by taking the pills only and then see how much additional caffeine I can take (if I feel I need/want it) without it pushing me over the edge. Thanks to everyone who weighed in
